The CTET (Central Teacher Eligibility Test) was conducted today. CTET Paper-1 was held from 9.30 a.m. to 12.00 noon and candidates can check out the answer keys here. The answer keys have been released and analyzed by educators and teachers.
SO far the cut-offs are concerned, for the General category, the minimum mark required for qualification is 60% (90 out of 150). The minimum mark for qualification for the reserved category is 55% (85 out of 150). Candidates can match their answers with the key to get an estimated assessment of their exam.
Candidates reported that the Pedagogy section was somewhat hectic and it seemed that the weightage was more. Questions from Child Development and Environmental Science were relatively easy and based on facts. For Maths, some expressed that the timing for calculations was less and thereby moderate. Many students reported that a better understanding of Pedagogy was needed to attempt the questions.
